Gnome 3 & nVidia (Natty) - Oh no! Something has gone wrong.

[karthikeya.vecham]

I got exactly the same.
It turned you that the only thing you have to do is to add the command "gnome-shell --replace" to autostart at login.
To do so press CTRL+Alt+F1 to get to your first console, log in using you name and password, then type these commands:

cd ~/.config/autostart
nano gnome-shell.desktop

Then, in the editor, type this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=gnome-shell --replace
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=Gnome Shell
Name=Gnome Shell
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=

Press CTRL+O and then ENTER (to save), after that press CTRL+X (to quit nano).

This will make so that the command "gnome-shell --replace" will run at login, because of some reason it doesn't.

Hope this will solve your problem!
